SEM Imaging of Paper
Fall 2021

For my own curiosity I imaged several types of paper at 100x, 1000x, and 5000x magnification. The images were collected in Optiplan mode which is generally ideal for surface imaging. Managing beam damage was challenging for some of the materials. For that reason only some of the materials have 5000x images.

The materials in the gallery are:

  1. Stone paper
  2. Premium printer paper
  3. Cardboard
  4. Magazine paper
  5. Magic: the Gathering card
  6. Paper towel
  7. Receipt
  8. Facial tissue
  9. Toilet paper
  10. Clean room wipe
